If you've ever felt unsure about how to translate soil testing results into actionable steps, rest assured–the answer is here. Introducing the next level of BeCrop® technology, BeCrop® Farm. This innovative precision agriculture tool not only interprets your soil biology insights but also provides precise product and management recommendations.
This blog explores how BeCrop® Farm simplifies decision-making, empowering you to farm more efficiently, save valuable time, and optimize your resources effectively. Say goodbye to guesswork and hello to informed, data-driven farming practices!
Farmers today face numerous challenges, from optimizing crop yields to managing input costs and mitigating environmental risks.
Conventional soil testing can only reveal so much. With BeCrop® Farm, we're changing the game. This platform harnesses the power of AI-driven soil biology analysis to provide insights into your soil's health. From biodiversity and disease risks to stress adaptation, BeCrop® Farm offers a deeper understanding that empowers you to make informed decisions confidently.
This is one of the most revolutionary updates to BeCrop Technology to date. BeCrop® Farm offers a suite of powerful features designed to transform how farmers and retailers manage soil health and optimize their operations.
Here are the key features that set BeCrop® Farm apart:
BeCrop® Farm uses advanced remote sensing capabilities and AI to determine the best sampling locations. By placing sampling points where they will be most representative, BeCrop® Farm ensures robust and comprehensive soil biology insights across large farms. Our system leverages key environmental data, such as moisture, temperature, and NDVI, to optimize sampling accuracy and efficiency.
This platform is priced per acre, suitable for various farm sizes, and integrates easily with precision agriculture platforms.
You receive soil biology analysis, including critical data on soil health, biodiversity, disease risks, and more, enabling farmers to take targeted actions to improve crop outcomes and manage their fields more effectively.
You can use guidance from our expert agronomists to understand how to gradually apply management practices and other sustainable applications to improve the most unfavorable metrics in your results.
You receive recommendations on the best product types for specific farms and fields. These recommendations help farmers choose the right biological products, fertilizers, and other inputs, optimizing their use for maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
The interactive diagnostic map is a dynamic tool visually representing soil analysis data across fields and farms. This feature lets users easily identify areas with nutrient deficiencies, disease risks, and other critical factors. The map's field and farm view allows for strategic planning and precise input application, enhancing overall farm management.
BeCrop® Farm includes a multi-client and farm management tool that allows users to compare different farms and fields. This feature facilitates better planning and decision-making by providing a holistic view of multiple operations, enabling farmers and retailers to benchmark performance and implement best practices across various sites.
These key features make BeCrop® Farm an indispensable tool for modern agriculture. It empowers farmers and retailers with the insights and recommendations needed to achieve sustainable and profitable farming practices.
Case Study #1
A corn and soybean farmer faced declining yields and increasing input costs. Traditional soil testing provided limited insights, and the farmer struggled to optimize fertilizer and fungicide use effectively. The BeCrop® Farm platform highlighted that low-yielding fields were deficient in phosphorus and potassium cycling microbes, contributing to poor nutrient use efficiency of P and K. The platform also showed varying degrees of disease risk levels across their fields, indicating that crop protection products like fungicides should be used at various rates, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach across all fields.
With BeCrop® Farm's precision recommendations, the farmer applied targeted biologicals to improve P and K cycling, and adjusted his fungicide strategy to only apply fungicides in fields that show fungal disease risks, cutting costs on overall fungicide use. The interactive digital map allowed him to monitor soil health improvements and make timely adjustments. As a result, the farmer saw increased crop yield and reduced input costs within the first season.
Case Study #2
A product manager at a national agricultural retailer company was tasked with helping clients optimize their input usage and achieve better crop outcomes. Before using BeCrop® Farm, the product manager relied on generalized recommendations, often leading to mixed results. By integrating BeCrop® Farm into her service offerings, the product manager provided her clients with field-specific reports and product placement advice based on the platform’s advanced soil biology analysis.
The product manager used the multi-client management tool to compare different farms and identify common issues. For one client, BeCrop® Farm revealed a significant imbalance in nitrogen-cycling microbes and suggested specific nutrition management products like biofertilizers. With this data, the product manager recommended a tailored input plan, increasing yield for her client. The success stories from using BeCrop® Farm strengthened the retailer’s reputation as a leading provider of innovative agricultural solutions, driving new business and client retention.
6 easy steps:
With BeCrop® Farm, the guesswork is gone, replaced by a comprehensive, AI-driven solution that transforms traditional soil testing into a powerful tool for modern agriculture.
